We are so excited to welcome you to campus very soon! From the moment you arrive, the Office of Global Services will be there every step of the way.

Mercer University is running an Airport Shuttle from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to Mercer University’s campus in Macon, GA on August 12 and 13 between 9am-9pm. If you plan to arrive outside of these hours, please inform Caroline Mason (mason_cm@mercer.edu). It will not be possible to move in before August 12 unless you are living in the Lofts. Once you book your flights, share your itinerary with Caroline Mason.

On August 14, there will be an orientation specifically for our new international students! We’ll cover a wide range of essential topics including culture shock, safety guidelines, immigration procedures, and setting up a bank account. This will be a fun opportunity to meet other new international students!
